The hire of a partner from WilmerHale signals the establishment of a new international arbitration operation, as Willkie Farr steps up its disputes activity in London.

New York-headquartered Willkie Farr & Gallagher ended September by unveiling plans to launch a London international arbitration practice with the hire of Duncan Speller, who has ended more than 18 years at Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr.

Speller, a barrister who began his career as a pupil at Fountain Court Chambers, has a range of commercial litigation and arbitration experiences across the oil and gas, insurance and reinsurance, banking, private equity, aviation and telecommunications sectors, as well as competition matters.
